Dermatology produces a steady stream of PDF guidelines: NICE atopic eczema and psoriasis guidelines, BAD clinical guidelines, EADV position statements, and British Journal of Dermatology articles. This guide shows dermatologists and trainees how to convert these PDFs to EPUB for mobile reading and annotation.
Dermatology is increasingly biologic-driven. NICE technology appraisals for atopic eczema biologics (dupilumab, tralokinumab, baricitinib, upadacitinib), psoriasis biologics (IL-17, IL-23 inhibitors), and hidradenitis suppurativa treatments are each 100–200 pages. BAD guidelines cover every major skin condition. EADV position papers and JAAD review articles add to the reading burden. Converting to EPUB makes this literature searchable and annotatable on any device.

Keep NICE TAs for your active biologics as EPUBs on your phone. Before a biologic initiation or review, search the TA for eligibility criteria (DLQI threshold, IGA score), stopping rules, and monitoring requirements. Annotate patient-specific notes directly in the EPUB reading app.
Convert BSCA (British Society for Cutaneous Allergy) guidelines and IVDK patch test series documents to EPUB. Keep on your phone for quick reference during patch test reading sessions. Annotate allergen significance thresholds and cross-reaction patterns.
Convert NICE melanoma (NG14) and NICE skin cancer (NG12) guidelines to EPUB. At skin cancer MDT meetings, search quickly for staging criteria, adjuvant therapy eligibility, and surveillance intervals. Keep ESMO cutaneous melanoma and BCC guidelines as complementary EPUB references.
Read BJD or JAMA Dermatology review articles as EPUBs. Annotate key findings and export highlights as CPD evidence. BAD, RCP, and JRCPTB dermatology curricula all accept documented peer-reviewed reading with reflection.
